My creative work lives at the intersection of sound, image, and community.
Based in analog recording and film photography, I work from a belief that process shapes meaning — that warmth, imperfection, and collaboration reveal textures of experience that are otherwise easily missed. I’ve spent over two decades recording musicians, documenting cultural life, and curating events that bring people together across artistic and social boundaries. These practices nurture community, amplify underrepresented voices, and honor the nuances of lived experience.
